X, you seem a bit aggressive for a guy who's been told he is loved by God. I mean, had I told you that Hell awaits you, I could understand a bit of resistance.
Please see a health professional as should the young man you saw. Such behaviour really is not normal and being a believer should not and does not mean you are normal here...use the standards of a theist or atheist both sides will be concerned for you. Your desire to act in the situation you mention points to obsessional thinking that threatens to take you over if you were thinking of openning up your own platform. Stop and think about it...what benefit would be derived by the young man other than to quell his obsessional thinking..that was the appeal for you. No one need hear some tradgic fool on a soap box...if you are so overflowing with joy that you felt a need to tell others I can tell you that is not right. Think about it this way God wont be a friend or enemy ...if he exists he would be way about such petty nonsence...you are not on a mission to do Gods work I expect but the probability of something causing pressure on your brain needs to be investigated. Please I am worried for you go and see about it...if you are ok you can come here and take up you battle for God. But I hope I am wrong. I often joke that I am never wrong but strangley I never seem to be wrong. A mate has been losing weight and I thought he was somehow different and at my insistence he went for a check up...well what I feared was liver cancer...I just felt it..you know when you just get a feeling and its right...that happens to me all the time... Well guess what he has liver cancer. I would love for you to see someone and come back here to tell me that I am wrong and your behaviour is normal and that you dont have a brain tumour and smoking is not killing you. Just think you could rub in my face.."you were wrong Alex" Alex
If God ever tells me to hurt others, I will see a professional. I promise. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Bowser I am not agressive but I am concered for you. As to the God loves you thing...whatever...God does not exist for me...you cant understand that I know...but I love people and animals and sincerely believe I am kinder than all others I meet. So I get the love concept. Alex
By then it may be too late Bowser. As I said go see someone and come back and tell me I was wrong...please. Alex
X, I knew a guy who heard voices. He would burst out laughing for no apparent reason. When I asked him about it, he told me his voices would tell him jokes during the day. He was one of most cheerful people I've known. I could find no harm.
Many folk invent something to keep them sane the irony is that such invention leads to their insanity. Your guy seems to me like he is just seeking attention which can be a powerful motivator. Alex
You are welcome. I get a feeling you have relatively recently become a father which if so could be causing you to feel pressured and so you find it more difficult to cope. A yways my other message is to remain positive if you should find I have indeed been correct. Dieing is nothing to be frightened about it is normal and some leave earlier than others but all do leave at some point. So cheer up everyone dies it is nothing to worry about. Alex
That pile of bricks I mentioned = a shit house untidy construction worker The stars in the night sky = physics of gas condensing down to a stage where it it causes nuclear fusion The touch of a lover's hand = electrical impulses being received from the hand region and interpreted by the brain as touch The taste of a bowl of oatmeal = chemical reactions being received from the tongue region as a particular taste The moment you awoke this morning = need to empty bladder and didn't want to piss the bed What else you have? Are those miraculous enough to satisfy your doubtful mind No see above for alternative explanations or do we need to bring a plague of frogs and flies? If you get god to stand in front of the pile of bricks - turn them into a plague of frogs and flies Yep I'll give that a ✓ as evidence of god (or good magic from David Copperfield) I'm ever the skeptic Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
But if you enjoy it before you die, isn't it worth it? It's the argument smokers use, just on a different timescale. We weren't talking about happiness - we were talking about levels of certainty.
Well the first five you gave were disappointingly dud Have you got something else? another 5 perhaps? or would you like me to suggest something else? Before either of us put forward other suggestions of proof required can you perhaps answer this question? Do theist and atheist have different dictionaries which give different definitions of the word "evidence"? Answer which ever segment you wish Your choice Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Those aren't miracles. Miracles are wonderful events that aren't explicable by any natural law; all those things are very explicable. Nor are they universally good things. Those stars in the night sky? They periodically explode and kill everything within hundreds of light-years. That touch of your lover's hand? Great for you; not so good for her husband. The taste of oatmeal? Again great for you - not so much for the 18 month old who dies that day for lack of that bowl of oatmeal. Feeling good waking up this morning? Not so much of a good thing for a mother who finds her teen son dead in his bed from an overdose. And if all those good things are "proof of God" - then all those bad things are proof of no God (or of a cruel, merciless God.)
The spirit is reborn into another body, which is I guess the what defines "reincarnation" as a specific concept. Just, in my view, it's a more gradual process than what, say, Hindus believe it to be.
"Well, it would be nice if your supposed god could get up the courage to come out from behind its mother's skirt & face me. What the heck is it afraid of???" That's trolling. Stop insulting people's intelligence. You know that's not a good response. So try again. Here's Bowser's question again. "What evidence do you need? What would you require?" Jan.
/// No. It gives it no meaning. If everything is a miracle, the word miracle does not mean anything. Disregarding that for the moment, if the things you mention are miracles then god must be a huge miracle & must have been created. What created god? <>
/// You do not seem too aggressive, considering you are a fantasy fanatic. Resistance? We should just accept your word for this nonsense? Why should we believe you? <>
